Last night some of the stall holders from the Handmade Nation event I'm helping to organise got together to watch the film Handmade Nation as I don't think we will get time to watch it on the day.
It was great to watch it with a selection of crafty types, as everyone seemed really inspired at the end and we all seems to like different parts. I would certainly recommend watching it if your into craft and if your near Nottingham on the 20th March come along to our event at The Broadway.
Although it was inspiring and really exciting to hear about the very vibrant craft scene in America. I did come away feeling a bit... erm not really sure how to describe it, apart from 'ness' (sort of means low). I think it just made me think about how much I still need to develop, learn and improve in my own work and how that the craft scene in England has some exciting development ahead of it.
I think my mood really represents how I'm feeling at the moment rather than anything bigger. As actually if I think about how things have developed over the last couple of years, both in my own work and craft in general things have improved so much and its actually really exciting times. So I don't think I really have any reason to feel negative and I just need to find some energy to be excited and some time to be creative.
I was feeling calm and on top of things, but I wrote down the list of things I want to make for it and I do have a fair bit to do. The organising is going 
I think I really need to pull my finger out and get into production line mode and get myself organised. I have started quite a few things, but need to make sure I finish them. The photo's above are of stitch and burn in progress and unfinished felt techno cosies.
